Such tactics are detriment to the game, IMO

Sounds like SOAR to me.

This map seems a bit hard on the eyes for me.

Again, this isn't a new map. It's a couple of months shy of 2 years old.

Look closer at the map, you'll find even GV bases are rotated. Look at the map room location to verify this. Some are NE, SE, NW and SW. depending on the base.

So far as lining up on icons, you just got used to doing it that way. Since you evidently joined after the loss of large maps which included this one, you would have no idea that icons don't represent runway direction. They never have. It was just coincidence that the small maps all matched the direction of the icon.

Oh overall I think its a great map. Ive been in it 4 days and its getting better everyday. Ive had no problem finding action. That, and I love all the different types of terrains.

So far every other type of target Ive hit has matched the general direction of the icons. Like i said only the 1 strip runways that are the exception. Maybe its just coincidence since Ive only blown up a small % of the new map so far.

Nothing to be proud or not proud of.

You mentioned SOME BoPs flying with some other group. This is not what we do whenever I am on (especially on squad nights).

Tomorrow night is your squad night, I believe, and you will swarm 6-7 empty Rook bases with 30+ Bop's / ramoras, and pat yourselves on the back. It's an insurmountable force unless 20+ Rooks band together and fight it, a level of organization which is unlikely. Now FIVE + a few suicide buff dweebs, 1-2 guys can DO something about that. Happy whording:aok

He was saying he thinks you have purty teeth Donzo.

EDIT: So because you & your countrymen can't work together, that's our fault? Gawwwd I love it when it becomes an anti-bop thread. Someone better tell Lazs & Storch to get in here!!:rofl Learn to work together or quit crying.

We do not discriminate and attack rooks only...that's just silly.

Way off here (again). To the best of my knowledge none of us "suicide bomb".

Once again, bj, you are off the mark. But keep trying:aok

I don't think it was an anti-bop thread.

He did react to my comment about how it was sad to see guys going in force to empty bases. And as soon as there was any resistance, they'd give up and move to another empty base.

I hadn't seen that in a while and it made me wonder of that's a product of the larger maps.

The 'whack a mole' description used that night seemed accurate as there wasn't much effort to attack the defense, instead it was avoiding the defense.

If not fighting was the goal and purely taking bases without resistance was what gives folks there kicks so be it.

As for the working together bit, that's what was even sadder. 3-4 guys were fighting back those attacks that would be one attempt then move to another undefended base

It wasn't just one squad operating that way that night it was 4 that I could see. Again if that's what's fun for em, go for it. I just don't get the point of not wanting to engage the other teams players.

For the record we, the BoP, do not subscribe to this whack-a-mole approach.

You are correct, Guppy, this thread is not a anti-BoP thread...only bj's post was anti-BoP.

Well, we'll see what you guys do then, Donzo. Don't count on me holding my breath though.

Aucontraire, Falc did that very thing some time back, but the scenario was a small map, lower-east side, and for a change a LOT of people were trying to fight the Bop's---Big dar bar one area....EVERYone fly there...bar poof, dar bar up several sectors away...but THAT scenario was kinda fun--a challenge. (My view would be, if ya got 30+ guys plus hangers-on hoping for easy kills, just up and attack the biggest base, and announce it before-hand) I did NOT say WHO was driving the suicide buffs, I DID say the force was comprised of 6 or so Bops's plus some others. And you guys hit Rooks most EVERY squad night for whatever reason, and I expect tomorrow to be no different...nothing inherently WRONG with it, don't see why the irritation on your part...seeya tomorrow:aok

Heard this many times by the same people. Sure would like to see one film showing it. That is not how ANY AH squad plays, from what I've ever seen. That's ridiculous. Why would anyone pay $15 a month to NOT fight? Let's get real here. Staring at a spot on the ceiling sounds about the same level of fun as that. I don't know of one player, let alone a large squad, that plays like that. We play for the fights just as much as anyone else. And yes, I do, have a gazillion films to prove it, not that I need to.

Well, we'll see what you guys do then, Donzo. Don't count on me holding my breath though.

Stang bro, you can hold your breath til you pass out, because your opinion of what we, as paying subscribers do as a squad, is null and void. It matters not. Nothing personal, I'd say that to anybody.

Our squad night is Mondays 9-11EST in the least populated LW arena. How about some of you grab your squads and bring it? A direct challange to any & all who want some. We're here for the fight, just like anyone else. It'd be great to have an equal opposing force against us. So bring that watermelon or forever hold your peace.

And now, back to discussing the large map.....
